Control of neural crest induction by MarvelD3-mediated attenuation of JNK signalling

Abstract Tight junctions are required for the formation of tissue barriers and function as suppressors of signalling mechanisms that control gene expression and cell behaviour; however, little is known about the physiological and developmental importance of such signalling functions. Here, we demons...
